The National Gallery of Denmark will be opening a new exhibition dedicated to Michelangelo in March. Michelangelo Imperfect will place specific focus on the gallery's collection of casts after his works 'alongside newly-produced 3D-modelled and -cast facsimiles'.

According to their website:

In the exhibition, SMK will juxtapose its own extensive collection of historical casts of Michelangelo’s sculptures with brand new, high-quality 3D-cast replicas. This way, you can experience the majority of Michelangelo’s sculptures in one place – something that would be impossible with the originals, which are never moved. You will also be able to see the largest selection of Michelangelo’s original drawings, letters, and sculpture models ever displayed in Denmark.

Join us as SMK unfolds Michelangelo’s life and art through close studies of his sculptures and focuses on the complex relationship between original and reproduction in the digital age.

The show will run from 29th March until 31st August 2025.
